Welp. It was bound to happen. The Rams were going to lose and with it would come a decline in fan confidence.
And here we are:

50%.
Despite a 3-1 start, Rams fans are clearly flustered by the offensive inconsistency in 2019 and the defensive performance in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s fair all things considered. The Dallas Cowboys are also 3-1 and also lost in Week 4 in their game to the New Orleans Saints, and Cowboys fans’ confidence levels, via Blogging the Boys, are at 65%:

Similar story for the Green Bay Packers having started 3-0 and pulled an L in Week 4 to see their fans’ confidence drop to 54% per Acme Packing Company:

So fret not, Rams fans. The 3-0 start leading to a Week 4 loss isn’t easy for any fan base to take. Now, should we lose tomorrow night against the Seattle Seahawks? Sure. Panic away. But for now, it’s best to take a deep breath and get buckled in on the Goffcoaster.
Our national question this week? Which quarterback that has been pushed into starting duties you’d want most between New Orleans Saints QB Teddy Bridgewater, New York Giants QB Daniel Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew or Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph.
It ended up being a two-horse race, and I’ll be honest. I was surprised that the Minshew brigade came up short:
